ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ dhālikal kitābu lā rayb ۛ fīh ۛ hudan lil-muttaqīn This is The Book free of doubt and involution, a guidance for those who preserve themselves from evil and follow the straight path,
3
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ alladhīna yu-minūna bil ghaybi wayuqīmūnaṣ ṣalāta wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn Who believe in the Unknown and fulfil their devotional obligations, and spend in charity of what We have given them;
4
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ wal ladhīna yu-minūna bimā unzila ilayka wa mā unzila min qablika wabil-ākhirati hum yūqinūn Who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed to those before you, and are certain of the Hereafter.
5
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ulā-ika `alā hudan min rabbihim ۖ wa-ulā-ika humul mufliḥūn They have found the guidance of their Lord and will be successful.
6
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ innal ladhīna kafarū sawā-un `alayhim a-andhartahum am lam tundhirhum lā yu-minūn As for those who deny, it is all the same if you warn them or not, they will not believe.
7
خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ ۖ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ غِشَـٰوَةٌ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ khatamallāhu `alā qulūbihim wa`alā sam`ihim ۖ wa`alā abṣārihim ghishāwah ۖ walahum `adhābun `aẓīm God has sealed their hearts and ears, and veiled their eyes. For them is great deprivation.
8
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ wa minan nāsi man yaqūlu āmannā billāhi wabil yawmil-ākhiri wa mā hum bimu-minīn And there are some who, though they say: "We believe in God and the Last Day," (in reality) do not believe.
9
يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ yukhādi`ūnallāha wal ladhīna āmanū wa mā yakhda`ūna illā anfusahum wa mā yash`urūn They (try to) deceive God and those who believe, yet deceive none but themselves although they do not know.
10
فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْذِبُونَ fī qulūbihim maraḍun fazādahumullāhu maraḍā ۖ walahum `adhābun alīmun bimā kānū yakdhibūn Sick are their hearts, and God adds to their malady. For them is suffering for they lie.
11
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ wa idhā qīla lahum lā tufsidū fil-arḍi qālū innamā naḥnu muṣliḥūn When asked to desist from spreading corruption in the land they say: "Why, we are reformers."
12
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ alā innahum humul mufsidūna walākin lā yash`urūn Yet they are surely mischief-mongers, even though they do not know.
13
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُوا۟ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلنَّاسُ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا يَعْلَمُونَ wa idhā qīla lahum āminū kamā āmanan nāsu qālū anu-minu kamā āmanas sufahā-u ۗ alā innahum humus sufahā-u walākin lā ya`lamūn When asked to believe as others do, they say: "Should we believe like fools?" And yet they are the fools, even though they do not know.
14
وَإِذَا لَقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ شَيَـٰطِينِهِمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِءُونَ wa idhā laqul ladhīna āmanū qālū āmannā wa idhā khalaw ilā shayāṭīnihim qālū innā ma`akum innamā naḥnu mustahzi-ūn When they meet the faithful they say: "We believe;" but when alone with the devils (their fellows), they say: "We are really with you; we were joking."
15
ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ allāhu yastahzi-u bihim wayamudduhum fī ṭughyānihim ya`mahūn But God will turn the joke against them and allow them to sink deeper into evil and wander perplexed in their wickedness.
16
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ فَمَا رَبِحَت تِّجَـٰرَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ ulā-ikal ladhīnash-tarawuḍ ḍalālata bil hudā famā rabiḥat tijāratuhum wa mā kānū muhtadīn They are indeed those who bartered away good guidance for error and gained nothing from the deal, nor found the right way.
17
مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتٍ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ mathaluhum kamathalil ladhis-tawqada nāran falammā aḍā-at mā ḥawlahu dhahaballāhu binūrihim watarakahum fī ẓulumātin lā yubṣirūn They are like a man who kindles a fire, and when its glow has illumined the air God takes away their light leaving them in the dark where they will not be able to see.
18
صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ ṣummun bukmun `umyun fahum lā yarji`ūn They are deaf, dumb and blind, and shall never return;
19
أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَـٰتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِم مِّنَ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقِ حَذَرَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ مُحِيطٌۢ بِٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ aw kaṣayyibin minas samā-i fīhi ẓulumātun wara`dun wabarqun yaj`alūna aṣābi`ahum fī ādhānihim minaṣ ṣawā`iqi ḥadharal mawt ۚ wallāhu muḥīṭun bil kāfirīn Or like rain pouring from the sky which hides within it darkness, thunder and lightning. They thrust their fingers into their ears for safety against noise and death. But God surrounds those who believe not from all sides.
20
يَكَادُ ٱلْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَـٰرَهُمْ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْا۟ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا۟ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ yakādul barqu yakhṭafu abṣārahum ۖ kullamā aḍā-a lahum mashaw fīhi wa idhā aẓlama `alayhim qāmū ۚ walaw shā-allāhu ladhahaba bisam`ihim wa-abṣārihim ۚ innallāha `alā kulli shay-in qadīr Verily the lightning could snatch away their eyes. When it flashes forth they walk in its flare. When darkness returns they stand still. And if the Lord wills so He could take away their hearing and sight; surely God is all-powerful.
21
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ yā-ayyuhan nāsu'-budū rabbakumul ladhī khalaqakum wal ladhīna min qablikum la`allakum tattaqūn So, O you people, adore your Lord who created you, as He did those before you, that you could take heed for yourselves and fear Him
22
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِرَٰشًا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ رِزْقًا لَّكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ أَندَادًا وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ alladhī ja`ala lakumul-arḍa firāshan was samā-a binā-an wa-anzala minas samā-i mā-an fa-akhraja bihi minath thamarāti rizqal lakum ۖ falā taj`alū lillāhi andādan wa-antum ta`lamūn Who made the earth a bed for you, the sky a canopy, and sends forth rain from the skies that fruits may grow -- your food and sustenance. So, do not make another the equal of God knowingly.
23
وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِى رَيْبٍ مِّمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا۟ بِسُورَةٍ مِّن مِّثْلِهِۦ وَٱدْعُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ wa in kuntum fī raybin mimmā nazzalnā `alā `abdinā fa-tū bisūratim min mithlihi wad`ū shuhadā-akum min dūnillāhi in kuntum ṣādiqīn If you are in doubt of what We have revealed to Our votary, then bring a Surah like this, and call any witness, apart from God, you like, if you are truthful.
24
فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ وَلَن تَفْعَلُوا۟ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ ۖ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ fa-in lam taf`alū walan taf`alū fattaqun nāral latī waqūduhan nāsu wal ḥijārah ۖ u`iddat lilkāfirīn But if you cannot, as indeed you cannot, then guard yourselves against the Fire whose fuel is men and rocks, which has been prepared for the infidels.
25
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُوا۟ مِنْهَا مِن ثَمَرَةٍ رِّزْقًا ۙ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى رُزِقْنَا مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَأُتُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُتَشَـٰبِهًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِيهَآ أَزْوَٰجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ ۖ وَهُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ wabashhiril ladhīna āmanū wa`amiluṣ ṣāliḥāti anna lahum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhār ۖ kullamā ruziqū minhā min thamaratin rizqan qālū hādhal ladhī ruziqnā min qabl ۖ wa-utū bihi mutashābihā ۖ walahum fīhā azwājun muṭahharah ۖ wahum fīhā khālidūn Announce to those who believe and have done good deeds, glad tidings of gardens under which rivers flow, and where, when they eat the fruits that grow, they will say: "Indeed they are the same as we were given before," so like in semblance the food would be. And they shall have fair spouses there, and live there abidingly.
26
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْىِۦٓ أَن يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَّا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا ۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِۦ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِى بِهِۦ كَثِيرًا ۚ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ innallāha lā yastaḥyī an yaḍriba mathalan mā ba`ūḍatan famā fawqahā ۚ fa-ammal ladhīna āmanū faya`lamūna annahul ḥaqqu min rabbihim ۖ wa-ammal ladhīna kafarū fayaqūlūna mādhā arādallāhu bihādhā mathalā ۘ yuḍillu bihi kathīran wayahdī bihi kathīrā ۚ wa mā yuḍillu bihi illal-fāsiqīn God is not loath to advance the similitude of a gnat or a being more contemptible; and those who believe know whatever is from the Lord is true. But those who disbelieve say: "What does God mean by this parable?" He causes some to err this way, and some He guides; yet He turns away none but those who transgress,
27
ٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ alladhīna yanquḍūna `ahdallāhi min ba`di mīthāqihi wayaqṭa`ūna mā amarallāhu bihi an yūṣala wayufsidūna fil-arḍ ۚ ulā-ika humul khāsirūn Who, having sealed it, break God's covenant, dividing what He ordained cohered; and those who spread discord in the land will suffer assuredly.
28
كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَكُنتُمْ أَمْوَٰتًا فَأَحْيَـٰكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ kayfa takfurūna billāhi wakuntum amwātan fa-aḥyākum ۖ thumma yumītukum thumma yuḥyīkum thumma ilayhi turja`ūn Then how can you disbelieve in God? He gave you life when you were dead. He will make you die again then bring you back to life: To Him then you will return.
29
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ huwal ladhī khalaqa lakum mā fil-arḍi jamī`an thummas-tawā ilas samā-i fasawwāhunna sab`a samāwāt ۚ wahuwa bikulli shay-in `alīm He made for you all that lies within the earth, then turning to the firmament He proportioned several skies: He has knowledge of everything.
30
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى جَاعِلٌ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ ٱلدِّمَآءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ wa idh qāla rabbuka lil-malā-ikati innī jā`ilun fil-arḍi khalīfah ۖ qālū ataj`alu fīhā man yufsidu fīhā wayasfikud dimā-a wanaḥnu nusabbiḥu biḥamdika wanuqaddisu lak ۖ qāla innī a`lamu mā lā ta`lamūn Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: "I have to place a trustee on the earth," they said: "Will You place one there who would create disorder and shed blood, while we intone Your litanies and sanctify Your name?" And God said: "I know what you do not know."
31
وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ ٱلْأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ wa`allama ādamal-asmā-a kullahā thumma `araḍahum `alal-malā-ikati faqāla anbi-ūnī bi-asmā-i hā-ulā-i in kuntum ṣādiqīn Then He gave Adam knowledge of the nature and reality of all things and everything, and set them before the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."
32
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ qālū subḥānaka lā `il-ma lanā illā mā `allamtanā ۖ innaka antal `alīmul ḥakīm And they said: "Glory to You (O Lord), knowledge we have none except what You have given us, for You are all-knowing and all-wise."
33
قَالَ يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ أَنۢبِئْهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَنۢبَأَهُم بِأَسْمَآئِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ غَيْبَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَمُ مَا تُبْدُونَ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ qāla yā-ādamu anbi-hum bi-asmā-ihim ۖ falammā anba-ahum bi-asmā-ihim qāla alam aqul lakum innī a`lamu ghaybas samāwāti wal-arḍi wa-a`lamu mā tubdūna wa mā kuntum taktumūn Then He said to Adam: "Convey to them their names." And when he had told them, God said: "Did I not tell you that I know the unknown of the heavens and the earth, and I know what you disclose and know what you hide?"
34
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِـَٔادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَٱسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ wa idh qulnā lil-malā-ikatis-judū li-ādama fasajadū illā iblīsa abā wastakbara wakāna minal kāfirīn Remember, when We asked the angels to bow in homage to Adam, they all bowed but Iblis, who disdained and turned insolent, and so became a disbeliever.
35
وَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ waqulnā yā-ādamus skun anta wazawjukal jannata wakulā minhā raghadan ḥaythu shi-tumā walā taqrabā hādhihish shajarata fatakūnā minaẓ ẓālimīn And We said to Adam: "Both you and your spouse live in the Garden, eat freely to your fill wherever you like, but approach not this tree or you will become transgressors.
36
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ ۖ وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ fa-azallahumash shayṭānu `anhā fa-akhrajahumā mimmā kānā fīh ۖ waqulnah-biṭū ba`ḍukum liba`ḍin `aduww ۖ walakum fil-arḍi mustaqarrun wa matā`un ilā ḥīn But Satan tempted them and had them banished from the (happy) state they were in. And We said: "Go, one the antagonist of the other, and live on the earth for a time ordained, and fend for yourselves."
37
فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَـٰتٍ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ fatalaqqā ādamu min rabbihi kalimātin fatāba `alayh ۚ innahu huwat tawwābur raḥīm Then his Lord sent commands to Adam and turned towards him: Indeed He is compassionate and kind.
38
قُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَن تَبِعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ qulnah-biṭū minhā jamī`ā ۖ fa-immā ya-tiyannakum minnī hudan faman tabi`a hudāya falā khawfun `alayhim walā hum yaḥzanūn And We said to them: "Go, all of you. When I send guidance, whoever follows it will neither have fear nor regret;
39
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ wal ladhīna kafarū wakadhhabū bi-āyātinā ulā-ika aṣ-ḥābun nār ۖ hum fīhā khālidūn But those who deny and reject Our signs will belong to Hell, and there abide unchanged."
40
يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتِىَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَوْفُوا۟ بِعَهْدِىٓ أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ وَإِيَّـٰىَ فَٱرْهَبُونِ yābanī isrā-iyladh-kurū ni`matiyal latī an`amtu `alaykum wa-awfū bi`ahdī ūfi bi`ahdikum wa iyyāya farhabūn O children of Israel, remember the favours I bestowed on you. So keep your pledge to Me, and I will mine to you, and be fearful of Me,
41

42
وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ walā talbisul ḥaqqa bil bāṭili wataktumul ḥaqqa wa-antum ta`lamūn Do not confuse truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth knowingly.
43
وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ wa-aqīmuṣ ṣalāta wa-ātuz zakāta warka`ū ma`ar rāki`īn Be firm in devotion; give zakat (the due share of your wealth for the welfare of others), and bow with those who bow (before God).
44
أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ata-murūnan nāsa bil birri watansawna anfusakum wa-antum tatlūnal kitāb ۚ afalā ta`qilūn Will you enjoin good deeds on the others and forget your own selves? You also read the Scriptures, why do you then not understand?
45
وَٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلْخَـٰشِعِينَ wasta`īnū biṣ ṣabri waṣ ṣalāh ۚ wa innahā lakabīratun illā `alal-khāshi`īn Find strength in fortitude and prayer, which is heavy and exacting but for those who are humble and meek,

47
يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتِىَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّى فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ yābanī isrā-iyladh-kurū ni`matiyal latī an`amtu `alaykum wa-annī faḍḍaltukum `alal-`ālamīn Remember, O children of Israel, the favours I bestowed on you, and made you exalted among the nations of the world.

49
وَإِذْ نَجَّيْنَـٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ wa idh najjaynākum min āli fir`awna yasūmūnakum sū al `adhābi yudhabbiḥūna abnā-akum wayastaḥyūna nisā-akum ۚ wafī dhālikum balā-un min rabbikum `aẓīm Remember, We saved you from the Pharaoh's people who wronged and oppressed you and slew your sons but spared your women: In this was a great favour from your Lord.
50
وَإِذْ فَرَقْنَا بِكُمُ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰكُمْ وَأَغْرَقْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ wa idh faraqnā bikumul baḥra fa-anjaynākum wa-aghraqnā āla fir`awna wa-antum tanẓurūn Remember, We parted the sea and saved you, and drowned the men of Pharaoh before your very eyes.

52
ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ thumma `afawnā `ankum min ba`di dhālika la`allakum tashkurūn Even so, We pardoned you that you may be grateful.

54
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنَّكُمْ ظَلَمْتُمْ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ فَتُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمْ فَٱقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ wa idh qāla mūsā liqawmihi yāqawmi innakum ẓalamtum anfusakum bīttikhādhikumul `ijla fatūbū ilā bāri-ikum faqtulū anfusakum dhālikum khayrul lakum `inda bāri-ikum fatāba `alaykum ۚ innahu huwat tawwābur raḥīm Remember, Moses said: "My people, by taking this calf you have done yourselves harm, so now turn to your Creator in repentance, and kill your pride, which is better with your Lord." And (the Lord) softened towards you, for He is all-forgiving and merciful.
55
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ نَرَى ٱللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْكُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ wa idh qultum yāmūsā lan nu-mina laka ḥattā narallāha jahratan fa-akhadhatkumuṣ ṣā`iqatu wa-antum tanẓurūn Remember, when you said to Moses: "We shall not believe in you until we see God face to face," lightning struck you as you looked.
56
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَـٰكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَوْتِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ thumma ba`athnākum min ba`di mawtikum la`allakum tashkurūn Even then We revived you after you had become senseless that you might give thanks;
57
وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ ۖ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ waẓallalnā `alaykumul ghamāma wa-anzalnā `alaykumul manna was salwā ۖ kulū min ṭayyibāti mā razaqnākum ۖ wa mā ẓalamūnā walākin kānū anfusahum yaẓlimūn And made the cloud spread shade over you, and sent for you manna and quails that you may eat of the good things We have made for you. No harm was done to Us, they only harmed themselves.
58
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا ٱدْخُلُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ فَكُلُوا۟ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ رَغَدًا وَٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا۟ حِطَّةٌ نَّغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمْ ۚ وَسَنَزِيدُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ wa idh qulnad-khulū hādhihil qaryata fakulū minhā ḥaythu shi-tum raghadan wadkhulul bāba sujjadan waqūlū ḥiṭṭatun naghfir lakum khaṭāyākum ۚ wasanazīdul muḥsinīn And remember, We said to you: "Enter this city, eat wherever you like, as much as you please, but pass through the gates in humility and say: 'May our sins be forgiven.' We shall forgive your trespasses and give those who do good abundance.
59
فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ fabaddalal ladhīna ẓalamū qawlan ghayral ladhī qīla lahum fa-anzalnā `alal ladhīna ẓalamū rijzan minas samā-i bimā kānū yafsuqūn But the wicked changed and perverted the word We had spoken to a word distorted, and We sent from heaven retribution on the wicked, for they disobeyed.
60
وَإِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ فَقُلْنَا ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۖ كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ wa idhis-tasqā mūsā liqawmihi faqulnaḍ-rib bi`aṣākal ḥajar ۖ fanfajarat minhuth-natā `ashrata `aynā ۖ qad `alima kullu unāsin mashrabahum ۖ kulū washrabū min rizqillāhi walā ta`thaw fil-arḍi mufsidīn And remember, when Moses asked for water for his people, We told him to strike the rock with his staff, and behold, twelve springs of gushing water gushed forth so that each of the tribes came to know its place of drinking. Eat and drink, (enjoy) God's gifts, and spread no discord in the land.
61
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصْبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍ وَٰحِدٍ فَٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنۢ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا ۖ قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِصْرًا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلْتُمْ ۗ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ wa idh qultum yāmūsā lan naṣbira `alā ṭa`āmin wāḥidin fad`u lanā rabbaka yukhrij lanā mimmā tunbitul-arḍu min baqlihā waqithhā-ihā wafūmihā wa`adasihā wabaṣalihā ۖ qāla atastabdilūnal ladhī huwa adnā bil ladhī huwa khayr ۚ ihbiṭū miṣran fa-inna lakum mā sa-altum ۗ waḍuribat `alayhimudh dhillatu wal maskanatu wabā-ū bighaḍabin minallāh ۗ dhālika bi-annahum kānū yakfurūna bi-āyātillāhi wayaqtulūnan nabiyyīna bighayril ḥaqq ۗ dhālika bimā `aṣaw wakānū ya`tadūn Remember, when you said: "O Moses, we are tired of eating the same food (day after day), ask your Lord to give us fruits of the earth, herbs and cucumbers, grains and lentils and onions;" he said: "Would you rather exchange what is good with what is bad? Go then to the city, you shall have what you ask." So they were disgraced and became indigent, earning the anger of God, for they disbelieved the word of God, and slayed the prophets unjustly, for they transgressed and rebelled.
62
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ innal ladhīna āmanū wal ladhīna hādū wan naṣārā waṣ ṣābi-īna man āmana billāhi wal yawmil-ākhiri wa`amila ṣāliḥan falahum ajruhum `inda rabbihim walā khawfun `alayhim walā hum yaḥzanūn Surely the believers and the Jews, Nazareans and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and whosoever does right, shall have his reward with his Lord and will neither have fear nor regret.
63
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ wa idh akhadhnā mīthāqakum warafa`nā fawqakumuṭ ṭūra khudhū mā ātaynākum biquwwatin wadhkurū mā fīhi la`allakum tattaqūn Remember the day We made the covenant with you and exalted you on the Mount and said: "Hold fast to what We have given you, and remember what is therein that you may take heed."
64
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَكُنتُم مِّنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ thumma tawallaytum min ba`di dhālik ۖ falawlā faḍlullāhi `alaykum waraḥmatuhu lakuntum minal khāsirīn But you went back (on your word), and but for the mercy and grace of God you were lost.
65
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱعْتَدَوْا۟ مِنكُمْ فِى ٱلسَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا۟ قِرَدَةً خَـٰسِـِٔينَ walaqad `alimtumul ladhīna'-tadaw minkum fis sabti faqulnā lahum kūnū qiradatan khāsi-īn You know and have known already those among you who had broken the sanctity of the Sabbath, and to whom We had said: "Become (like) apes despised,"
66
فَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا نَكَـٰلًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ faja`alnāhā nakālal limā bayna yadayhā wa mā khalfahā wa maw`iẓatan lil-muttaqīn And whom We made an example for the people (of the day) and those after them, and warning for those who fear God.
67
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تَذْبَحُوا۟ بَقَرَةً ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُوًا ۖ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ wa idh qāla mūsā liqawmihi innallāha ya-murukum an tadhbaḥū baqarah ۖ qālū atattakhidhunā huzuwā ۖ qāla a`ūdhu billāhi an akūna minal jāhilīn Remember, when Moses said to his people: "God demands that you sacrifice a cow," they said: "Are you making fun of us?" And he said: "God forbid that I be of the ignorant."
68
قَالُوا۟ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِىَ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَّا فَارِضٌ وَلَا بِكْرٌ عَوَانٌۢ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ فَٱفْعَلُوا۟ مَا تُؤْمَرُونَ qālud-`u lanā rabbaka yubayyin lanā mā hiy ۚ qāla innahu yaqūlu innahā baqaratun lā fāriḍun walā bikrun `awānun bayna dhālik ۖ faf`alū mā tu-marūn "Call on your Lord for us," they said, "that He might inform us what kind she should be." "Neither old nor young, says God, but of age in between," answered Moses. "So do as you are bid."
69
قَالُوا۟ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا لَوْنُهَا ۚ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ صَفْرَآءُ فَاقِعٌ لَّوْنُهَا تَسُرُّ ٱلنَّـٰظِرِينَ qālud-`u lanā rabbaka yubayyin lanā mā lawnuhā ۚ qāla innahu yaqūlu innahā baqaratun ṣafrā-u fāqi`ul lawnuhā tasurrun nāẓirīn "Call on your Lord," they said, "to tell us the colour of the cow." "God says," answered Moses, "a fawn coloured cow, rich yellow, well pleasing to the eye."
70
قَالُوا۟ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِىَ إِنَّ ٱلْبَقَرَ تَشَـٰبَهَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّآ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَمُهْتَدُونَ qālud-`u lanā rabbaka yubayyin lanā mā hiya innal baqara tashābaha `alaynā wa innā in shā-allāhu lamuhtadūn "Call on your Lord," they said, "to name its variety, as cows be all alike to us. If God wills we shall be guided aright."
71
قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَّا ذَلُولٌ تُثِيرُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَلَا تَسْقِى ٱلْحَرْثَ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لَّا شِيَةَ فِيهَا ۚ قَالُوا۟ ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ جِئْتَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَا كَادُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ qāla innahu yaqūlu innahā baqaratun lā dhalūlun tuthīrul-arḍa walā tasqil ḥartha musallamatun lā shiyata fīhā ۚ qālul-āna ji-ta bil ḥaqq ۚ fadhabaḥūhā wa mā kādū yaf`alūn And Moses said: "He says it's a cow unyoked, nor worn out by ploughing or watering the fields, one in good shape with no mark or blemish." "Now have you brought us the truth," they said; and then, after wavering, they sacrificed the cow.
72
وَإِذْ قَتَلْتُمْ نَفْسًا فَٱدَّٰرَْٰٔتُمْ فِيهَا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ مُخْرِجٌ مَّا كُنتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ wa idh qataltum nafsan faddāra-tum fīhā ۖ wallāhu mukhrijun mā kuntum taktumūn Remember when you killed a man and blamed each other for the deed, God brought to light what you concealed.
73
فَقُلْنَا ٱضْرِبُوهُ بِبَعْضِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُحْىِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ faqulnaḍ-ribūhu biba`ḍihā ۚ kadhālika yuḥyillāhul mawtā wayurīkum āyātihi la`allakum ta`qilūn We had pronounced already: "Slay (the murderer) for (taking a life)." Thus God preserves life from death and shows you His signs that you may understand.
74
ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَهِىَ كَٱلْحِجَارَةِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ ٱلْمَآءُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ thumma qasat qulūbukum min ba`di dhālika fahiya kal ḥijārati aw ashaddu qaswah ۚ wa inna minal ḥijārati lamā yatafajjaru minhul-anhār ۚ wa inna minhā lamā yashhaqqaqu fayakhruju minhul mā-u ۚ wa inna minhā lamā yahbiṭu min khashyatil lāh ۗ wa mallāhu bighāfilin `ammā ta`malūn Yet, in spite of this, your hearts only hardened like rocks or even harder, but among rocks are those from which rivers flow; and there are also those which split open and water gushes forth; as well as those that roll down for fear of God. And God is not negligent of all that you do.
75
أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا۟ لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَـٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ afataṭma`ūna an yu-minū lakum waqad kāna farīqun minhum yasma`ūna kalāmallāhi thumma yuḥarrifūnahu min ba`di mā `aqalūhu wahum ya`lamūn How do you expect them to put their faith in you, when you know that some among them heard the word of God and, having understood, perverted it knowingly?
76
وَإِذَا لَقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ قَالُوٓا۟ أَتُحَدِّثُونَهُم بِمَا فَتَحَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِيُحَآجُّوكُم بِهِۦ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ wa idhā laqul ladhīna āmanū qālū āmannā wa idhā khalā ba`ḍuhum ilā ba`ḍin qālū atuḥaddithūnahum bimā fataḥallāhu `alaykum liyuḥājjūkum bihi `inda rabbikum ۚ afalā ta`qilūn For when they meet the faithful, they say: "We believe;" but when among themselves, they say: "Why do you tell them what the Lord has revealed to you? They will only dispute it in the presence of your Lord. Have you no sense indeed?"
77
أَوَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ awalā ya`lamūna annallāha ya`lamu mā yusirrūna wa mā yu`linūn Do they not know that God is aware of what they hide and what they disclose?
78
وَمِنْهُمْ أُمِّيُّونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّآ أَمَانِىَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ wa minhum ummiyyūna lā ya`lamūnal kitāba illā amāniyya wa in hum illā yaẓunnūn Among them are heathens who know nothing of the Book but only what they wish to believe, and are only lost in fantasies.
79
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشْتَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا ۖ فَوَيْلٌ لَّهُم مِّمَّا كَتَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَيْلٌ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكْسِبُونَ fawaylul lilladhīna yaktubūnal kitāba bi-aydīhim thumma yaqūlūna hādhā min `indillāhi liyashtarū bihi thamanan qalīlā ۖ fawaylul lahum mimmā katabat aydīhim wawaylul lahum mimmā yaksibūn But woe to them who fake the Scriptures and say: "This is from God," so that they might earn some profit thereby; and woe to them for what they fake, and woe to them for what they earn from it!
80
وَقَالُوا۟ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَةً ۚ قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَهْدًا فَلَن يُخْلِفَ ٱللَّهُ عَهْدَهُۥٓ ۖ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ waqālū lan tamassanan nāru illā ayyāman ma`dūdah ۚ qul attakhadhtum `indallāhi `ahdan falan yukhlifallāhu `ahdah ۖ am taqūlūna `alallāhi mā lā ta`lamūn Yet they say: "The Fire will not touch us for more than a few days." Say.. "Have you so received a promise from God?" "Then surely God will not withdraw His pledge. Or do you impute things to God of which you have no knowledge at all?"
81
بَلَىٰ مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَـٰطَتْ بِهِۦ خَطِيٓـَٔتُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ balā man kasaba sayyi-atan wa-aḥāṭat bihi khaṭī-atuhu fa-ulā-ika aṣ-ḥābun nār ۖ hum fīhā khālidūn Why, they who have earned the wages of sin and are enclosed in error, are people of Hell, where they will abide for ever.
82
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ wal ladhīna āmanū wa`amiluṣ ṣāliḥāti ulā-ika aṣ-ḥābul jannah ۖ hum fīhā khālidūn But those who believe and do good deeds are people of Paradise, and shall live there forever.
83
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـٰقَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَقُولُوا۟ لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنكُمْ وَأَنتُم مُّعْرِضُونَ wa idh akhadhnā mīthāqa banī isrā-iyla lā ta`budūna illallāha wabil wālidayni iḥsānan wadhil qurbā wal yatāmā wal masākīni waqūlū linnāsi ḥusnan wa-aqīmuṣ ṣalāta wa-ātuz zakāta thumma tawallaytum illā qalīlan minkum wa-antum mu`riḍūn Remember, when We made a covenant with the people of Israel and said: "Worship no one but God, and be good to your parents and your kin, and to orphans and the needy, and speak of goodness to men; observe your devotional obligations, and give zakat (the due share of your wealth for the welfare of others)," you went back (on your word), except only a few, and paid no heed.
84
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُونَ دِمَآءَكُمْ وَلَا تُخْرِجُونَ أَنفُسَكُم مِّن دِيَـٰرِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ wa idh akhadhnā mīthāqakum lā tasfikūna dimā-akum walā tukhrijūna anfusakum min diyārikum thumma aqrartum wa-antum tash-hadūn And remember, when We made a covenant with you whereby you agreed you will neither shed blood among you nor turn your people out of their homes, you promised, and are witness to it too.
85
ثُمَّ أَنتُمْ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتُخْرِجُونَ فَرِيقًا مِّنكُم مِّن دِيَـٰرِهِمْ تَظَـٰهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَٰنِ وَإِن يَأْتُوكُمْ أُسَـٰرَىٰ تُفَـٰدُوهُمْ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِخْرَاجُهُمْ ۚ أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ ۚ فَمَا جَزَآءُ مَن يَفْعَلُ ذَٰلِكَ مِنكُمْ إِلَّا خِزْىٌ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَشَدِّ ٱلْعَذَابِ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ thumma antum hā-ulā-i taqtulūna anfusakum watukhrijūna farīqan minkum min diyārihim taẓāharūna `alayhim bil-ithmi wal `udwāni wa in ya-tūkum usārā tufādūhum wahuwa muḥarramun `alaykum ikhrājuhum ۚ afatu-minūna biba`ḍil kitābi watakfurūna biba`ḍ ۚ famā jazā-u man yaf`alu dhālika minkum illā khizyun fil ḥayātid dunyā ۖ wayawmal qiyāmati yuraddūna ilā ashaddil `adhāb ۗ wa mallāhu bighāfilin `ammā ta`malūn But you still kill one another, and you turn a section of your people from their homes, assisting one another against them with guilt and oppression. Yet when they are brought to you as captives you ransom them, although forbidden it was to drive them away. Do you, then, believe a part of the Book and reject a part? There is no other award for them who so act but disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Judgement the severest of punishment; for God is not heedless of all that you do.
86
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ulā-ikal ladhīnash-tarawul ḥayātad dunyā bil-ākhirah ۖ falā yukhaffafu `anhumul `adhābu walā hum yunṣarūn They are those who bought the life of the world at the cost of the life to come; and neither will their torment decrease nor help reach them.
87
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ بِٱلرُّسُلِ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَا عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَأَيَّدْنَـٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ ۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌۢ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُكُمُ ٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ walaqad ātaynā mūsal kitāba waqaffaynā min ba`dihi bir rusul ۖ wa-ātaynā `īsab-na maryamal bayyināti wa-ayyadnāhu birūḥil qudus ۗ afakullamā jā-akum rasūlun bimā lā tahwā anfusukumus takbartum fafarīqan kadhhabtum wafarīqan taqtulūn Remember We gave Moses the Book and sent after him many an apostle; and to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear evidence of the truth, reinforcing him with divine grace. Even so, when a messenger brought to you what did not suit your mood you turned haughty, and called some imposters and some others you slew.
88
وَقَالُوا۟ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ ۚ بَل لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِيلًا مَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ waqālū qulūbunā ghulf ۚ bal la`anahumullāhu bikufrihim faqalīlan mā yu-minūn And they say: "Our hearts are enfolded in covers." In fact God has cursed them for their unbelief; and only a little do they believe.
89
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ كِتَـٰبٌ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ وَكَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم مَّا عَرَفُوا۟ كَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۚ فَلَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ walammā jā-ahum kitābun min `indillāhi muṣaddiqul limā ma`ahum wakānū min qablu yastaftiḥūna `alal ladhīna kafarū falammā jā-ahum mā `arafū kafarū bih ۚ fala`natullāhi `alal-kāfirīn And when the Book was sent to them by God verifying what had been revealed to them already even though before it they used to pray for victory over the unbelievers and even though they recognised it when it came to them, they renounced it. The curse of God be on those who deny!
90
بِئْسَمَا ٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَنفُسَهُمْ أَن يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بَغْيًا أَن يُنَزِّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ فَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ عَلَىٰ غَضَبٍ ۚ وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ bi-samash-taraw bihi anfusahum an yakfurū bimā anzalallāhu baghyan an yunazzilallāhu min faḍlihi `alā man yashā-u min `ibādih ۖ fabā-ū bighaḍabin `alā ghaḍab ۚ walilkāfirīna `adhābun muhīn They bartered their lives ill denying the revelation of God out of spite that God should bestow His grace among His votaries on whomsoever He will, and thus earned wrath upon wrath. The punishment for disbelievers is ignominious.
91
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُوا۟ نُؤْمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُۥ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ فَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنۢبِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ مِن قَبْلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ wa idhā qīla lahum āminū bimā anzalallāhu qālū nu-minu bimā unzila `alaynā wayakfurūna bimā warā-ahu wahuwal ḥaqqu muṣaddiqal limā ma`ahum ۗ qul falima taqtulūna anbiyā-allāhi min qablu in kuntum mu-minīn And when it is said to them: "believe in what God has sent down," they say: "We believe what was sent to us, and do not believe what has come thereafter," although it affirms the truth they possess already. Say: "Why have you then been slaying God's apostles as of old, if you do believe?"
92
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ walaqad jā-akum mūsā bil bayyināti thummat-takhadhtumul `ijla min ba`dihi wa-antum ẓālimūn Although Moses had come to you with evidence of the truth, you chose the calf in his absence, and you transgressed.
93
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ ٱلطُّورَ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُوا۟ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِهِۦٓ إِيمَـٰنُكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ wa idh akhadhnā mīthāqakum warafa`nā fawqakumuṭ ṭūra khudhū mā ātaynākum biquwwatin wasma`ū ۖ qālū sami`nā wa`aṣaynā wa-ushribū fī qulūbihimul `ijla bikufrihim ۚ qul bi-samā ya-murukum bihi-iymānukum in kuntum mu-minīn Remember when We took your pledge and exalted you on the Mount (saying:) "Hold fast to what We have given you, firmly, and pay heed," you said: "We have heard and will not obey." (The image of) the calf had sunk deep into their hearts on account of unbelief. Say: "Vile is your belief if you are believers indeed!"
94
قُلْ إِن كَانَتْ لَكُمُ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَالِصَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ qul in kānat lakumud dārul-ākhiratu `indallāhi khāliṣatan min dūnin nāsi fatamannawul mawta in kuntum ṣādiqīn Tell them: "If you think you alone will abide with God to the exclusion of the rest of Mankind, in the mansions of the world to come, then wish for death if what you say is true."
95
وَلَن يَتَمَنَّوْهُ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ walan yatamannawhu abadan bimā qaddamat aydīhim ۗ wallāhu `alīmun biẓ ẓālimīn But they will surely not wish for death because of what they had done in the past; and God knows the sinners well.
96
وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَوٰةٍ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ walatajidannahum aḥraṣan nāsi `alā ḥayātin wa minal ladhīna ashrakū ۚ yawaddu aḥaduhum law yu`ammaru alfa sanatin wa mā huwa bimuzaḥziḥihi minal `adhābi an yu`ammar ۗ wallāhu baṣīrun bimā ya`malūn You will see they are covetous of life more than other men, even more than those who practise idolatry. Each one of them desires to live a thousand years, although longevity will never save them from punishment, for God sees all they do.
97
قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُۥ نَزَّلَهُۥ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ qul man kāna `aduwwal lijibrīla fa-innahu nazzalahu `alā qalbika bi-idhnillāhi muṣaddiqal limā bayna yadayhi wahudan wabushrā lil-mu-minīn Say: "Whosoever is the enemy of Gabriel who revealed the word of God to you by the dispensation of God, reaffirming what had been revealed before, and is a guidance and good news for those who believe, --
98
مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَىٰلَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ man kāna `aduwwal lillāhi wa malā-ikatihi warusulihi wajibrīla wa mīkāla fa-innallāha `aduwwul lilkāfirīn Whosoever is the enemy of God and His angels and apostles, and of Gabriel and Michael, then God is the enemy of such unbelievers."
99
وَلَقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ ۖ وَمَا يَكْفُرُ بِهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ walaqad anzalnā ilayka āyātin bayyināt ۖ wa mā yakfuru bihā illal-fāsiqūn We have sent clear signs to you, such as none can deny except those who transgress the truth.
100
أَوَكُلَّمَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ عَهْدًا نَّبَذَهُۥ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ awakullamā `āhadū `ahdan nabadhahu farīqun minhum ۚ bal aktharuhum lā yu-minūn And every time they made a pledge some of them pushed it aside, and many of them do not believe.
101
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَهُمْ نَبَذَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ كِتَـٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ walammā jā-ahum rasūlun min `indillāhi muṣaddiqul limā ma`ahum nabadha farīqun minal ladhīna ūtul kitāba kitāballāhi warā-a ẓuhūrihim ka-annahum lā ya`lamūn When a messenger was sent to them by God affirming the Books they had already received, some of them put (His message) behind their backs as if they had no knowledge of it.
102
وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَا تَتْلُوا۟ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَـٰنَ ۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَـٰرُوتَ وَمَـٰرُوتَ ۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَآ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ ۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِۦ ۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا۟ لَمَنِ ٱشْتَرَىٰهُ مَا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَـٰقٍ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ wattaba`ū mā tatlush shayāṭīnu `alā mulki sulaymān ۖ wa mā kafara sulaymānu walākinnash shayāṭīna kafarū yu`allimūnan nāsas siḥra wa mā unzila `alal-malakayni bibābila hārūta wa mārūt ۚ wa mā yu`allimāni min aḥadin ḥattā yaqūlā innamā naḥnu fitnatun falā takfur ۖ fayata`allamūna minhumā mā yufarriqūna bihi baynal mar-i wazawjih ۚ wa mā hum biḍārrīna bihi min aḥadin illā bi-idhnillāh ۚ wayata`allamūna mā yaḍurruhum walā yanfa`uhum ۚ walaqad `alimū lamanish-tarāhu mā lahu fil-ākhirati min khalāq ۚ walabi-sa mā sharaw bihi anfusahum ۚ law kānū ya`lamūn And they follow what devilish beings used to chant against the authority of Solomon, though Solomon never disbelieved and only the devils denied, who taught sorcery to men, which, they said, had been revealed to the angels of Babylon, Harut and Marut, who, however, never taught it without saying: "We have been sent to deceive you, so do not renounce (your faith)." They learnt what led to discord between husband and wife. Yet they could not harm any one or without the dispensation of God. And they learnt what harmed them and brought no gain. They knew indeed whoever bought this had no place in the world to come, and that surely they had sold themselves for something that was vile. If only they had sense!
103
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ لَمَثُوبَةٌ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ ۖ لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ walaw annahum āmanū wattaqaw lamathūbatun min `indillāhi khayr ۖ law kānū ya`lamūn Had they come to believe instead, and taken heed for themselves, they would surely have earned from God a far better reward. If only they had sense!
104
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَقُولُوا۟ رَٰعِنَا وَقُولُوا۟ ٱنظُرْنَا وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۗ وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ yā-ayyuhal ladhīna āmanū lā taqūlū rā`inā waqūlun-ẓurnā wasma`ū ۗ walilkāfirīna `adhābun alīm Say not (to the Prophet), O Believers: "Have regard for us (ra'ina)," but "look at us (unzurna)," and obey him in what he says. Painful is the nemesis for disbelievers.
105
مَّا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَلَا ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ mā yawaddul ladhīna kafarū min ahlil kitābi walal mushrikīna an yunazzala `alaykum min khayrin min rabbikum ۗ wallāhu yakhtaṣṣu biraḥmatihi man yashā-u ۚ wallāhu dhul faḍlil `aẓīm Those without faith among the people of the Book, and those who worship idols, do not wish that good should come to you from your Lord. But God chooses whom He likes for His grace; and the bounty of God is infinite.
106
مَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ أَوْ نُنسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِّنْهَآ أَوْ مِثْلِهَآ ۗ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ mā nansakh min āyatin aw nunsihā na-ti bikhayrin minhā aw mithlihā ۗ alam ta`lam annallāha `alā kulli shay-in qadīr When We cancel a message (sent to an earlier prophet) or throw it into oblivion, We replace it with one better or one similar. Do you not know that God has power over all things?
107
أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ alam ta`lam annallāha lahu mulkus samāwāti wal-arḍ ۗ wa mā lakum min dūnillāhi min waliyyin walā naṣīr Do you not know that God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and that there is none to save and protect you apart from God?
108
أَمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَن تَسْـَٔلُوا۟ رَسُولَكُمْ كَمَا سُئِلَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۗ وَمَن يَتَبَدَّلِ ٱلْكُفْرَ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ am turīdūna an tas-alū rasūlakum kamā su-ila mūsā min qabl ۗ wa man yatabaddalil kufra bil-iymāni faqad ḍalla sawā-as sabīl Do you too, O believers, wish to question your Apostle as Moses was in the past? But he who takes unbelief in exchange for belief only strays from the right path.

وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَـٰنِكُمْ كُفَّارًا حَسَدًا مِّنْ عِندِ أَنفُسِهِم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ فَٱعْفُوا۟ وَٱصْفَحُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ wadda kathīrun min ahlil kitābi law yaruddūnakum min ba`di-iymānikum kuffāran ḥasadan min `indi anfusihim min ba`di mā tabayyana lahumul ḥaqq ۖ fa`fū waṣfaḥū ḥattā ya-tiyallāhu bi-amrih ۗ innallāha `alā kulli shay-in qadīr How many of the followers of the Books having once known the truth desire in their hearts, out of envy, to turn you into infidels again even after the truth has become clear to them! But you forbear and overlook till God fulfil His plan; and God has power over all things.

And what you send ahead of good you will find with God, for He sees all that you do ill.

Say: "Bring the proof if you are truthful."
112

God alone will judge between them in their differences on the Day of Reckoning.

For them is ignominy in the world and severe punishment in the life to come.
115

May He be praised! Indeed everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, and all are obedient to God.
117
بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ badī`us samāwāti wal-arḍ ۖ wa idhā qaḍā amran fa-innamā yaqūlu lahu kun fayakūn Creator of the heavens and the earth from nothingness, He has only to say when He wills a thing: "Be", and it is.

The same question had been asked by men before them, who were like them in their hearts. But to those who are firm in their faith We have shown Our signs already.
119
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ innā arsalnāka bil ḥaqqi bashīran wanadhīrā ۖ walā tus-alu `an aṣ-ḥābil jaḥīm And We have sent you with the truth to give glad tidings and to warn. You will not be questioned about those and who are inmates of Hell.

Say: "God's guidance alone is true guidance;" for if you give in to their wishes after having received the (Book of) knowledge from God, then none will you have as friend or helper to save you.
121

And when Abraham asked: "From my progeny too?" the Lord said: "My pledge does not include transgressors."
125

أَمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَٱلْأَسْبَاطَ كَانُوا۟ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَـٰرَىٰ ۗ قُلْ ءَأَنتُمْ أَعْلَمُ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَتَمَ شَهَـٰدَةً عِندَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ am taqūlūna inna ibrāh-yma wa ismā`īla wa is-ḥāqa waya`qūba wal-asbāṭa kānū hūdan aw naṣārā ۗ qul a-antum a`lamu amillāh ۗ wa man aẓlamu mimman katama shahādatan `indahu minallāh ۗ wa mallāhu bighāfilin `ammā ta`malūn Or do you claim that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their offspring were Jews or Christians? Say: "Have you more knowledge than God?" Who is more wicked than he who conceals the testimony he received from God? God is not unaware of all you do.
141
تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ ۖ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ tilka ummatun qad khalat ۖ lahā mā kasabat walakum mā kasabtum ۖ walā tus-alūna `ammā kānū ya`malūn They were the people, and they have passed away. Theirs the reward for what they did, as yours will be for what you do. You will not be questioned about their deeds.
142
سَيَقُولُ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَا وَلَّىٰهُمْ عَن قِبْلَتِهِمُ ٱلَّتِى كَانُوا۟ عَلَيْهَا ۚ قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْمَشْرِقُ وَٱلْمَغْرِبُ ۚ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ sayaqūlus sufahā-u minan nāsi mā wallāhum `an qiblatihimul latī kānū `alayhā ۚ qul lillāhil mashriqu wal maghrib ۚ yahdī man yashā-u ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm The foolish will now ask and say: "What has made the faithful turn away from the Qiblah towards which they used to pray?" Say: "To God belong the East and the West. He guides who so wills to the path that is straight."
143
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُونُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا ٱلْقِبْلَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنتَ عَلَيْهَآ إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ ۚ وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَـٰنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ wakadhālika ja`alnākum ummatan wasaṭal litakūnū shuhadā-a `alan nāsi wayakūnar rasūlu `alaykum shahīdā ۗ wa mā ja`alnal qiblatal latī kunta `alayhā illā lina`lama man yattabi`ur rasūla mimman yanqalibu `alā `aqibayh ۚ wa in kānat lakabīratan illā `alal ladhīna hadallāh ۗ wa mā kānallāhu liyuḍī`a-iymānakum ۚ innallāha bin nāsi lara-ūfun raḥīm We have made you a temperate people that you act as witness over man, and the Prophet as witness over you. We decreed the Qiblah which you faced before that We may know who follow the Apostle and who turn away in haste. And this was a hard (test) except for those who were guided by God. But God will not suffer your faith to go waste, for God is to men full of mercy and grace.
144
قَدْ نَرَىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَىٰهَا ۚ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ qad narā taqalluba wajhika fis samā-i ۖ falanuwalliyannaka qiblatan tarḍāhā ۚ fawalli wajhaka shaṭral masjidil ḥarām ۚ waḥaythu mā kuntum fawallū wujūhakum shaṭrah ۗ wa innal ladhīna ūtul kitāba laya`lamūna annahul ḥaqqu min rabbihim ۗ wa mallāhu bighāfilin `ammā ya`malūn We have seen you turn your face to the heavens. We shall turn you to a Qiblah that will please you. So turn towards the Holy Mosque, and turn towards it wherever you be. And those who are recipients of the Book surely know that this is the truth from their Lord; and God is not negligent of all that you do.
145
وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍ مَّا تَبِعُوا۟ قِبْلَتَكَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَتَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا بَعْضُهُم بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَةَ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ إِنَّكَ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ wala-in ataytal ladhīna ūtul kitāba bikulli āyatim mā tabi`ū qiblatak ۚ wa mā anta bitābi`in qiblatahum ۚ wa mā ba`ḍuhum bitābi`in qiblata ba`ḍ ۚ wala-init-taba`ta ahwā-ahum min ba`di mā jā-aka minal `il-mi innaka idhal laminaẓ ẓālimīn Even though you bring all the proof to the people of the Book they will not face the direction you turn to, nor you theirs, nor will they follow each other's direction. And if you follow their whims after all the knowledge that has reached you, then surely you will be among transgressors.
146
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ يَعْرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ ۖ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا مِّنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ alladhīna ātaynāhumul kitāba ya`rifūnahu kamā ya`rifūna abnā-ahum ۖ wa inna farīqan minhum layaktumūnal ḥaqqa wahum ya`lamūn Those to whom We have sent down the Book know this even as they know their sons. Yet a section among them conceals the truth knowingly.
147
ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ al-ḥaqqu min rabbik ۖ falā takūnanna minal mumtarīn The truth is from your Lord, so be not among those who are sceptics.
148
وَلِكُلٍّ وِجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا ۖ فَٱسْتَبِقُوا۟ ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ أَيْنَ مَا تَكُونُوا۟ يَأْتِ بِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ walikullin wijhatun huwa muwallīhā ۖ fastabiqul khayrāt ۚ ayna mā takūnū ya-ti bikumullāhu jamī`ā ۚ innallāha `alā kulli shay-in qadīr Each has a goal to which he turns. So strive towards piety and excel the others: God will bring you all together wheresoever you be. God has power over everything.
149
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ wa min ḥaythu kharajta fawalli wajhaka shaṭral masjidil ḥarām ۖ wa innahu lalḥaqqu min rabbik ۗ wa mallāhu bighāfilin `ammā ta`malūn Wherever you come from turn towards the Holy Mosque: This in truth is from your Lord. God is not negligent of all you do.
150
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِى وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعْمَتِى عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ wa min ḥaythu kharajta fawalli wajhaka shaṭral masjidil ḥarām ۚ waḥaythu mā kuntum fawallū wujūhakum shaṭrahu li-allā yakūna linnāsi `alaykum ḥujjatun illal ladhīna ẓalamū minhum falā takhshawhum wakhshawnī wali-utimma ni`matī `alaykum wala`allakum tahtadūn Whichever place you come from turn towards the Holy Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your faces towards it so that people may have no cause for argument against you, except such among them as are wicked. But do not fear them, fear Me that I may accomplish My favours on you, and you may find the right way perchance.
151
كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولًا مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ kamā arsalnā fīkum rasūlan minkum yatlū `alaykum āyātinā wayuzakkīkum wayu`allimukumul kitāba wal ḥikmata wayu`allimukum mā lam takūnū ta`lamūn Even as We sent a messenger from among you to convey Our messages to you and cleanse you, and teach you the Book and the wisdom, and what you did not know;
152
فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ fadhkurūnī adhkurkum washkurū lī walā takfurūn So, therefore, remember Me, and I shall remember you; and give thanks and do not be ungrateful.
153
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ yā-ayyuhal ladhīna āmanus-ta`īnū biṣ ṣabri waṣ ṣalāh ۚ innallāha ma`aṣ ṣābirīn O you who believe, seek courage in fortitude and prayer, for God is with those who are patient and persevere.
154
وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمْوَٰتٌۢ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَآءٌ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ walā taqūlū liman yuqtalu fī sabīlillāhi amwāt ۚ bal aḥyā-un walākin lā tash`urūn Do not say that those who are killed in the way of God, are dead, for indeed they are alive, even though you are not aware.
155
وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَىْءٍ مِّنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ walanabluwannakum bishay-in minal khawfi wal jū`i wanaqṣin minal-amwāli wal-anfusi wath thamarāt ۗ wabashhiriṣ ṣābirīn Be sure We shall try you with something of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and the fruits (of your labour); but give tidings of happiness to those who have patience,
156
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَـٰبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ alladhīna idhā aṣābat-hum muṣībatun qālū innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rāji`ūn Who say when assailed by adversity: "Surely we are for God, and to Him we shall return."
157
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَٰتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُهْتَدُونَ ulā-ika `alayhim ṣalawātun min rabbihim waraḥmah ۖ wa-ulā-ika humul muhtadūn On such men are the blessings of God and His mercy, for they are indeed on the right path.
158
إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ ٱلْبَيْتَ أَوِ ٱعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ innaṣ ṣafā wal marwata min sha`ā-irillāh ۖ faman ḥajjal bayta awi'-tamara falā junāḥa `alayhi an yaṭṭawwafa bihimā ۚ wa man taṭawwa`a khayran fa-innallāha shākirun `alīm Truly Safa and Marwa are the symbols of God. Whoever goes on pilgrimage to the House (of God), or on a holy visit, is not guilty of wrong if he walk around them; and he who does good of his own accord will find appreciation with God who knows everything.
159
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ۙ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّـٰعِنُونَ innal ladhīna yaktumūna mā anzalnā minal bayyināti wal hudā min ba`di mā bayyannāhu linnāsi fil kitābi ulā-ika yal`anuhumullāhu wayal`anuhumullā`inūn They who conceal Our signs and the guidance We have sent them and have made clear in the Book, are condemned of God and are condemned by those who are worthy of condemning.
160
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ وَبَيَّنُوا۟ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ illal ladhīna tābū wa-aṣlaḥū wabayyanū fa-ulā-ika atūbu `alayhim ۚ wa-anat tawwābur raḥīm But those who repent and reform and proclaim (the truth), are forgiven, for I am forgiving and merciful.
161
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ innal ladhīna kafarū wa mātū wahum kuffārun ulā-ika `alayhim la`natullāhi wal malā-ikati wan nāsi ajma`īn But those who deny, and die disbelieving, bear the condemnation of God and the angels and that of all men,
162

163
وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ ۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ wa ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥid ۖ lā ilāha illā huwar raḥmānur raḥīm Your God is one God; there is no god other than He, the compassionate, ever-merciful.
164
إِنَّ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلَّتِى تَجْرِى فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن مَّآءٍ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ ٱلرِّيَـٰحِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ ٱلْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ inna fī khalqis samāwāti wal-arḍi wakhtilāfil layli wan nahāri wal fulkil latī tajrī fil baḥri bimā yanfa`un nāsa wa mā anzalallāhu minas samā-i min mā-in fa-aḥyā bihil-arḍa ba`da mawtihā wabathha fīhā min kulli dābbatin wataṣrīfir riyāḥi was saḥābil musakhhari baynas samā-i wal-arḍi la-āyātin liqawmiy ya`qilūn Creation of the heavens and the earth, alternation of night and day, and sailing of ships across the ocean with what is useful to man, and the rain that God sends from the sky enlivening the earth that was dead, and the scattering of beasts of all kinds upon it, and the changing of the winds, and the clouds which remain obedient between earth and sky, are surely signs for the wise.
165
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَندَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ يَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِذْ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْعَذَابَ أَنَّ ٱلْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعَذَابِ wa minan nāsi man yattakhidhu min dūnillāhi andādan yuḥibbūnahum kaḥubbillāh ۖ wal ladhīna āmanū ashaddu ḥubbal lillāh ۗ walaw yaral ladhīna ẓalamū idh yarawnal `adhāba annal quwwata lillāhi jamī`an wa-annallāha shadīdul `adhāb And yet there are men who take others as compeers of God, and bestow on them love due to God; but the love of the faithful for God is more intense. If only the wicked could see now the agony that they will behold (on the Day of Resurrection), they will know that to God belongs the power entirely'. And the punishment of God is severe.
166
إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتُّبِعُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَسْبَابُ idh tabarra-al ladhīnat-tubi`ū minal ladhīnat-taba`ū wara-awul `adhāba wataqaṭṭa`at bihimul-asbāb When those who were followed will disclaim those who followed them, and see the torment all ties between them shall be severed,
167
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ حَسَرَٰتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ waqālal ladhīnat-taba`ū law anna lanā karratan fanatabarra-a minhum kamā tabarra-ū minnā ۗ kadhālika yurīhimullāhu a`mālahum ḥasarātin `alayhim ۖ wa mā hum bikhārijīna minan nār And the followers will say: "Could we live but once again we would leave them as they have abandoned us now." God will show them thus their deeds, and fill them with remorse; but never shall they find release from the Fire.
168
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَلَـٰلًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ yā-ayyuhan nāsu kulū mimmā fil-arḍi ḥalālan ṭayyiban walā tattabi`ū khuṭuwātish shayṭān ۚ innahu lakum `aduwwun mubīn O men, eat only the things of the earth that are lawful and good. Do not walk in the footsteps of Satan, your acknowledged enemy.
169
إِنَّمَا يَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلسُّوٓءِ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ innamā ya-murukum bis sū-i wal faḥshā-i wa-an taqūlū `alallāhi mā lā ta`lamūn He will ask you to indulge in evil, indecency, and to speak lies of God you cannot even conceive.
170
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُوا۟ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَآ أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ ۗ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ wa idhā qīla lahumut-tabi`ū mā anzalallāhu qālū bal nattabi`u mā alfaynā `alayhi ābā-anā ۗ awalaw kāna ābā-uhum lā ya`qilūna shay-an walā yahtadūn When it is said to them: "Follow what God has revealed," they reply: "No, we shall follow only what our fathers had practiced," -- even though their fathers had no wisdom or guidance!
171
وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً ۚ صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ wa mathalul ladhīna kafarū kamathalil ladhī yan`iqu bimā lā yasma`u illā du`ā-an wanidā-ā ۚ ṣummun bukmun `umyun fahum lā ya`qilūn The semblance of the infidels is that of a man who shouts to one that cannot hear more than a call and a cry. They are deaf, dumb and blind, and they fail to understand.
172
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ yā-ayyuhal ladhīna āmanū kulū min ṭayyibāti mā razaqnākum washkurū lillāhi in kuntum iyyāhu ta`budūn O believers, eat what is good of the food We have given you, and be grateful to God, if indeed you are obedient to Him.
173

If one is obliged by necessity to eat it without intending to transgress, or reverting to it, he is not guilty of sin; for God is forgiving and kind.

These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.

But he who is pardoned some of it by his brother should be dealt with equity, and recompense (for blood) paid with a grace. This is a concession from your Lord and a kindness. He who transgresses in spite of it shall suffer painful punishment.

For the good they do with a little hardship is better for men. And if you fast it is good for you, if you knew.

So when you see the new moon you should fast the whole month; but a person who is ill or travelling (and fails to do so) should fast on other days, as God wishes ease and not hardship for you, so that you complete the (fixed) number (of fasts), and give glory to God for the guidance, and be grateful.

God is aware you were cheating yourselves, so He turned to you and pardoned you. So now you may have intercourse with them, and seek what God has ordained for you. Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears clear from the dark line, then fast until the night falls; and abstain from your wives (when you have decided) to stay in the mosques for assiduous devotion. These are the bounds fixed by God, so keep well within them. So does God make His signs clear to men that they may take heed for themselves.

Say: "These are periods set for men (to reckon) time, and for pilgrimage." Piety does not lie in entering the house through the back door, for the pious man is he who follows the straight path. Enter the house through the main gate, and obey God. You may haply find success.

Oppression is worse than killing. Do not fight them by the Holy Mosque unless they fight you there. If they do, then slay them: Such is the requital for unbelievers.

But if you are prevented, send an offering which you can afford as sacrifice, and do not shave your heads until the offering has reached the place of sacrifice. But if you are sick or have ailment of the scalp (preventing the shaving of hair), then offer expiation by fasting or else giving alms or a sacrificial offering. When you have security, then those of you who wish to perform the holy visit along with the pilgrimage, should make a sacrifice according to their means. But he who has nothing, should fast for three days during the pilgrimage and seven on return, completing ten. This applies to him whose family does not live near the Holy Mosque. Have fear of God, and remember that God is severe in punishment.

ٱلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٌ ۚ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ ٱلْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ ۗ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَعْلَمْهُ ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَٱتَّقُونِ يَـٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ al-ḥajju ash-hurun ma`lūmāt ۚ faman faraḍa fīhinnal ḥajja falā rafatha walā fusūqa walā jidāla fil ḥajj ۗ wa mā taf`alū min khayriy ya`lamhullāh ۗ watazawwadū fa-inna khayraz zādit taqwā ۚ wattaqūni yā-ulil-albāb Known are the months of pilgrimage. If one resolves to perform the pilgrimage in these months, let him not indulge in concupiscence, sin or quarrel. And the good you do shall be known to God. Provide for the journey, and the best of provisions is piety. O men of understanding, obey Me.

لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَبْتَغُوا۟ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۚ فَإِذَآ أَفَضْتُم مِّنْ عَرَفَـٰتٍ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عِندَ ٱلْمَشْعَرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۖ وَٱذْكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَإِن كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ laysa `alaykum junāḥun an tabtaghū faḍlan min rabbikum ۚ fa-idhā afaḍtum min `arafātin fadhkurullāha `indal mash`aril ḥarām ۖ wadhkurūhu kamā hadākum wa in kuntum min qablihi laminaḍ ḍāllīn It is no sin to seek the favours of your Lord (by trading). When you start from 'Arafat in a concourse, remember God at the monument that is sacred (al-Mash'ar al-haram), and remember Him as He has shown you the way, for in the olden days you we're a people astray.

ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا۟ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ thumma afīḍū min ḥaythu afāḍan nāsu wastaghfirullāh ۚ innallāha ghafūrun raḥīm Then move with the crowd impetuously, and pray God to forgive you your sins. God is surely forgiving and kind.

There are some who say: "Give us, O Lord, in the world;" but they will forego their share in the life to come.
201
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ wa minhum man yaqūlu rabbanā ātinā fid dunyā ḥasanatan wafil-ākhirati ḥasanatan waqinā `adhāban nār But some there are who pray: "Give us of good in the world, O Lord, and give us of good in the life to come, and suffer us not to suffer the torment of Hell."
202

Follow the law of God, and remember that you will have to gather before Him in the end.
204

206
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ ٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ أَخَذَتْهُ ٱلْعِزَّةُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ ۚ فَحَسْبُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْمِهَادُ wa idhā qīla lahut-taqillāha akhadhat-hul `izzatu bil-ithm ۚ faḥasbuhu jahannam ۚ walabi-sal mihād Whenever he is told: "Obey God," his arrogance leads him to more sin; and sufficient for him shall be Hell: How evil a place of wide expanse!

But those who keep from evil and follow the straight path will have a higher place than they on the Day of Reckoning; for God gives in measure without number whomsoever He will.

كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فِيمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لِمَا ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ kānan nāsu ummatan wāḥidatan faba`athallāhun nabiyyīna mubashhirīna wa mundhirīna wa-anzala ma`ahumul kitāba bil ḥaqqi liyaḥkuma baynan nāsi fīmakh-talafū fīh ۚ wa makh-talafa fīhi illal ladhīna ūtūhu min ba`di mā jā-at humul bayyinātu baghyan baynahum ۖ fahadallāhul ladhīna āmanū limakh-talafū fīhi minal ḥaqqi bi-idhnih ۗ wallāhu yahdī man yashā-u ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm Men belonged to a single community, and God sent them messengers to give them happy tidings and warnings, and sent the Book with them containing the truth to judge between them in matters of dispute; but only those who received it differed after receiving clear proofs, on account of waywardness (and jealousies) among them. Then God by His dispensation showed those who believed the way to the truth about which they were differing; for God shows whom He please the path that is straight.

They had suffered affliction and loss, and were shaken and tossed about so that even the Apostle had to cry out with his followers: "When will the help of God arrive?" Remember, the help of God is ever at hand.

Tell them: "What you can spare of your wealth as should benefit the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the wayfarers, for God is not unaware of the good deeds that you do."

You may dislike a thing yet it may be good for you; or a thing may haply please you but may be bad for you. Only God has knowledge, and you do not know.

Tell them: "To fight in that month is a great sin. But a greater sin in the eyes of God is to hinder people from the way of God, and not to believe in Him, and to bar access to the Holy Mosque and turn people out of its precincts; and oppression is worse than killing. They will always seek war against you till they turn you away from your faith, if they can. But those of you who turn back on their faith and die disbelieving will have wasted their deeds in this world and the next. They are inmates of Hell, and shall there abide for ever.

A maid servant who is a believer is better than an idolatress even though you may like her. And do not marry your daughters to idolaters until they accept the faith. A servant who is a believer is better than an idolater even though you may like him. They invite you to Hell, but God calls you to Paradise and pardon by His grace. And He makes His signs manifest that men may haply take heed.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عُرْضَةً لِّأَيْمَـٰنِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ وَتُصْلِحُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ walā taj`alullāha `urḍatan li-aymānikum an tabarrū watattaqū watuṣliḥū baynan nās ۗ wallāhu samī`un `alīm Do not implicate God in your oaths to avoid doing good and being pious and keeping peace among men, for God hears all and knows everything.
225
لَّا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِٱللَّغْوِ فِىٓ أَيْمَـٰنِكُمْ وَلَـٰكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا كَسَبَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ lā yu-ākhidhukumullāhu billaghwi fī aymānikum walākin yu-ākhidhukum bimā kasabat qulūbukum ۗ wallāhu ghafūrun ḥalīm God will not call you to account for that which is senseless in your oaths, but only for what is in your hearts; for God is forgiving and forbearing.
226
لِّلَّذِينَ يُؤْلُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمْ تَرَبُّصُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ ۖ فَإِن فَآءُو فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ lilladhīna yu-lūna min nisā-ihim tarabbuṣu arba`ati ash-hur ۖ fa-in fā-ū fa-innallāha ghafūrun raḥīm Those who swear to keep away from their wives (with intent of divorcing them) have four months of grace; then if they reconcile (during this period), surely God is forgiving and kind.

Their husbands would do well to take them back in that case, if they wish to be reconciled. Women also have recognised rights as men have, though men have an edge over them. But God is all-mighty and all-wise.

You are not allowed to take away the least of what you have given your wives, unless both of you fear that you would not be able to keep within the limits set by God. If you fear you cannot maintain the bounds fixed by God, there will be no blame on either if the woman redeems herself. Do not exceed the limits of God, for those who exceed the bounds set by God are transgressors.
230
فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدُ حَتَّىٰ تَنكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُۥ ۗ فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَن يَتَرَاجَعَآ إِن ظَنَّآ أَن يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ يُبَيِّنُهَا لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ fa-in ṭallaqahā falā taḥillu lahu min ba`du ḥattā tankiḥa zawjan ghayrah ۗ fa-in ṭallaqahā falā junāḥa `alayhimā an yatarāja`ā in ẓannā an yuqīmā ḥudūdallāh ۗ watilka ḥudūdullāhi yubayyinuhā liqawmiy ya`lamūn If a man divorces her again (a third time), she becomes unlawful for him (and he cannot remarry her) until she has married another man. Then if he divorces her there is no harm if the two unite again if they think they will keep within the bounds set by God and made clear for those who understand.

He who does so will wrong himself. Do not mock the decrees of God, and remember the favours God has bestowed on you, and revealed to you the Book and the Law to warn you of the consequences of doing wrong. Have fear of God, and remember, God is cognisant of everything.
232

This warning is for those among you who believe in God and the Last Day. This is both proper and right for you, for God knows and you do not know.

The same holds good for the heir of the father (if he dies). If they wish to wean the child by mutual consent there is no harm. And if you wish to engage a wet nurse you may do so if you pay her an agreed amount as is customary. But fear God, and remember that God sees all that you do.

Yet do not make a promise in secret, unless you speak in a manner that is proper; and do not resolve upon marriage till the fixed term of waiting is over. Remember that God knows what is in your hearts; so be fearful of Him, and remember that God is forgiving and forbearing.
236
لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِن طَلَّقْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ أَوْ تَفْرِضُوا۟ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً ۚ وَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ عَلَى ٱلْمُوسِعِ قَدَرُهُۥ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهُۥ مَتَـٰعًۢا بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ lā junāḥa `alaykum in ṭallaqtumun nisā-a mā lam tamassūhunna aw tafriḍū lahunna farīḍah ۚ wa matti`ūhunna `alal-mūsi`i qadaruhu wa`alal-muqtiri qadaruhu matā`an bil ma`rūf ۖ ḥaqqan `alal-muḥsinīn There is no sin in divorcing your wives before the consummation of marriage or settling the dowry; but then provide adequately for them, the affluent according to their means, the poor in accordance with theirs as is befitting. This is surely the duty of those who do good.
237
وَإِن طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَا۟ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِۦ عُقْدَةُ ٱلنِّكَاحِ ۚ وَأَن تَعْفُوٓا۟ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَنسَوُا۟ ٱلْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ wa in ṭallaqtumūhunna min qabli an tamassūhunna waqad faraḍtum lahunna farīḍatan faniṣfu mā faraḍtum illā an ya`fūna aw ya`fuwal ladhī biyadihi `uqdatun nikāḥ ۚ wa-an ta`fū aqrabu littaqwā ۚ walā tansawul faḍla baynakum ۚ innallāha bimā ta`malūna baṣīr And if you divorce them before the consummation of marriage, but after settling the dowry, then half the settled dowry must be paid, unless the woman forgoes it, or the person who holds the bond of marriage pays the full amount. And if the man pays the whole, it is nearer to piety. But do not forget to be good to each other, and remember that God sees all that you do.
238

But if they leave (of their own accord), you will not be blamed for what they do with themselves in their own rights. God is all-mighty and all-wise.

Indeed God bestows His blessings on men; only most men are not grateful.

He replied: "This too is possible that when commanded to fight you may not fight at all." They said: "How is it we should not fight in the way of God when we have been driven from our homes and deprived of our Sons?" But when they were ordered to fight they turned away, except for a few; yet God knows the sinners.

"God has chosen him in preference to you," said the prophet "and given him much more wisdom and prowess; and God gives authority to whomsoever He will: God is infinite and all-wise."

This shall be a token for you if you really believe."

فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِٱلْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّى وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنِّىٓ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةًۢ بِيَدِهِۦ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا۟ مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُۥ هُوَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ قَالُوا۟ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُوا۟ ٱللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةًۢ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ falammā faṣala ṭālūtu bil junūdi qāla innallāha mubtalīkum binaharin faman shariba minhu falaysa minnī wa man lam yaṭ`amhu fa-innahu minnī illā manigh-tarafa ghurfatan biyadih ۚ fasharibū minhu illā qalīlan minhum ۚ falammā jāwazahu huwa wal ladhīna āmanū ma`ahu qālū lā ṭāqata lanal yawma bijālūta wajunūdih ۚ qālal ladhīna yaẓunnūna annahum mulāqullāhi kam min fi-atin qalīlatin ghalabat fi-atan kathīratan bi-idhnillāh ۗ wallāhu ma`aṣ ṣābirīn When Saul led his armies, he said: "God will test you by a stream. Whoever drinks its water will not be of me; but those who do not drink shall be on my side. The only exception will be those who scoop up a palmful of water with their hands." And but for a few they all drank of its water. When they had crossed it, and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no strength to combat Goliath and his forces today. But those who believed they have to face their Lord, said: "Many a time has a small band defeated a large horde by the will of God. God is with those who are patient (and persevere)."
250
وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا۟ لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ walammā barazū lijālūta wajunūdihi qālū rabbanā afrigh `alaynā ṣabran wathabbit aqdāmanā wanṣurnā `alal-qawmil kāfirīn And when they were facing Goliath and his hordes they prayed: "O Lord, give us endurance and steady our steps, and help us against the deniers of truth."

If God did not make men deter one another this earth would indeed be depraved. But gracious is God to the people of the world.

God has addressed some of them, and the stations of some have been exalted over the others. And to Jesus, son of Mary, We gave tokens, and reinforced him with divine grace. If God had so willed those who came after them would never have contended when clear signs had come to them. But dissensions arose, some believed, some denied. And if God had willed they would never have fought among themselves. But God does whatsoever He please.

Neither does somnolence affect Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth: and who can intercede with Him except by His leave? Known to Him is all that is present before men and what is hidden (in time past and time future), and not even a little of His knowledge can they grasp except what He will. His seat extends over heavens and the earth, and He tires not protecting them: He alone is all high and supreme.

Distinct is the way of guidance now from error. He who turns away from the forces of evil and believes in God, will surely hold fast to a handle that is strong and unbreakable, for God hears all and knows everything.

They are the residents of Hell, and will there for ever abide.

When Abraham said: "My Lord is the giver of life and death," he replied: "I am the giver of life and death." And Abraham said: "God makes the sun rise from the East; so you make it rise from the West," and dumbfounded was the infidel. God does not guide those who are unjust.

He said: "How can God restore this city now that it is destroyed?" So God made him die for a hundred years, then brought him back to life, and inquired: "How long did you stay in this state?" "A day or less than a day," he replied. "No," He said, "you were dead a hundred years, yet look at your victuals, they have not decomposed; and look at your ass! We shall make you a warning for men. And regard the bones, how We raise them and clothe them with flesh." When this became clear to him, the man said: "Indeed God has power over all things."

For God sees all that you do.

أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ لَهُۥ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَأَصَابَهُ ٱلْكِبَرُ وَلَهُۥ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَآءُ فَأَصَابَهَآ إِعْصَارٌ فِيهِ نَارٌ فَٱحْتَرَقَتْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ ayawaddu aḥadukum an takūna lahu jannatun min nakhīlin wa-a`nābin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru lahu fīhā min kullith thamarāti wa-aṣābahul kibaru walahu dhurriyyatun ḍu`afā-u fa-aṣābahā i`ṣārun fīhi nārun faḥtaraqat ۗ kadhālika yubayyinullāhu lakumul-āyāti la`allakum tatafakkarūn Does any of you wish to have an orchard full of date-palm trees and vines, and streams of running water and fruits of all kinds, and then old age should overtake him while his children are small, and a scorching whirlwind should smite and burn it down? Thus God makes His signs clear to you that you may reflect.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّآ أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا۟ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِـَٔاخِذِيهِ إِلَّآ أَن تُغْمِضُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ yā-ayyuhal ladhīna āmanū anfiqū min ṭayyibāti mā kasabtum wa mimmā akhrajnā lakum minal-arḍ ۖ walā tayammamul khabītha minhu tunfiqūna walastum bi-ākhidhīhi illā an tughmiḍū fīh ۚ wa`lamū annallāha ghaniyyun ḥamīd O believers, give in charity what is good of the things you have earned, and of what you produce from the earth; and do not choose to give what is bad as alms, that is, things you would not like to accept yourself except with some condescension. Remember that God is affluent and praiseworthy.
268
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ ash-shayṭānu ya`idukumul faqra waya-murukum bil faḥshā-i ۖ wallāhu ya`idukum maghfiratan minhu wafaḍlā ۗ wallāhu wāsi`un `alīm Satan threatens you with want, and orders you (to commit) shameful acts. But God promises His pardon and grace, for God is bounteous and all-knowing.
269
يُؤْتِى ٱلْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِىَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ yu-til ḥikmata man yashā-u ۚ wa man yu-tal ḥikmata faqad ūtiya khayran kathīrā ۗ wa mā yadhhakkaru illā ulul-albāb He gives wisdom to whomsoever He please; and those who are bestowed wisdom get good in abundance. Yet none remembers this save men of wisdom.
270
وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن نَّفَقَةٍ أَوْ نَذَرْتُم مِّن نَّذْرٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُهُۥ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ wa mā anfaqtum min nafaqatin aw nadhartum min nadhrin fa-innallāha ya`lamuh ۗ wa mā liẓẓālimīna min anṣār Whatsoever you give away in alms or vow as offering, is all known to God; but the wicked will have none to help them.
271

This will absolve you of some of your sins; and God is cognisant of all you do.
272
لَّيْسَ عَلَيْكَ هُدَىٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُونَ laysa `alayka hudāhum walākinnallāha yahdī man yashā-u ۗ wa mā tunfiqū min khayrin fali-anfusikum ۚ wa mā tunfiqūna illab-tighā-a wajhillāh ۚ wa mā tunfiqū min khayriy yuwaffa ilaykum wa-antum lā tuẓlamūn It is not for you to guide them: God guides whom He will. Whatever you spend you will do so for yourself, for you will do so to seek the way that leads to God; and what you spend in charity you will get back in full, and no wrong will be done to you.
273

You can know them from their faces for they do not ask of men importunately. God is surely cognisant of good things that you spend.

This because they say that trading is like usury. But trade has been sanctioned and usury forbidden by God. Those who are warned by their Lord and desist will keep (what they have taken of interest) already, and the matter will rest with God. But those who revert to it again are the residents of Hell where they will abide for ever.
276

281
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ wattaqū yawman turja`ūna fīhi ilallāh ۖ thumma tuwaffā kullu nafsin mā kasabat wahum lā yuẓlamūn Have fear of the day when you go back to God.

If the borrower is deficient of mind or infirm, or unable to explain, let the guardian explain judiciously; and have two of your men to act as witnesses; but if two men are not available, then a man and two women you approve, so that in case one of them is confused the other may prompt her. When the witnesses are summoned they should not refuse (to come). But do not neglect to draw up a contract, big or small, with the time fixed for paying back the debt. This is more equitable in the eyes of God, and better as evidence and best for avoiding doubt. But if it is a deal about some merchandise requiring transaction face to face, there is no harm if no (contract is drawn up) in writing. Have witnesses to the deal, (and make sure) that the scribe or the witness is not harmed. If he is, it would surely be sinful on your part. And have fear of God, for God gives you knowledge, and God is aware of everything.

Burden us not, O Lord, with a burden as You did those before us. Impose not upon us a burden, O Lord, we cannot carry. Overlook our trespasses and forgive us, and have mercy upon us; You are our Lord and Master, help us against the clan of unbelievers.
